Abstract

Lebanon is a small country situated on the eastern border of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in an area of never ending wars and conflict. It is also one of the leading middle eastern countries for medical tourism. The American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) is one of the biggest tertiary centers in the Middle East North Africa region. As a result, most of the major traumas that require microsurgical expertise, are referred to our center. The management of a patient presenting to us as a result of conflict is completely different from the management of a patient presenting, for the same procedure, in a first world country. Hence, our region and country require Plastic Surgeons that are well trained in Reconstructive #Microsurgery. In AUBMC, we aim to establish the first microsurgical training program in the region. Lebanon is a small country situated on the eastern border of the Mediterranean Sea. It has a surface area of 10452 Km2 and a total population of 6.1 million. Of these 6 million inhabitants, 4.1 million are citizens, and the remaining 2 million are refugees (Syrians and Palestinians) [1]. The medical level of the country is relatively advanced with 80 specialized plastic and reconstructive surgeons and around 600 specialized orthopedic and reconstructive #trauma surgeons [2]. The majority of the aforementioned, received high level of education and training in major and well renowned centers in Northern America and Europe [2].
